Cancer Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Re: The Last Word I'm a bad shot, but I'm not that bad. Well, on the ground floor I'm not that bad. I wouldn't try on, say, the 6th floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Re: The Last Word Back in the days when you had to go out on the observing floor to guide or set your telescope on a target, as a conventionally-mounted telescope tracked across the sky the tail end of it (where your instrument usually was) would rotate further from the floor as time went on. The observing floor was usually a pair of sections of floor with (removable) chain fences around them, and if it was high enough you climbed up ladders or a rolling stair-ladder to get up there from the main (fixed) floor. The two sections didn't have to be moved together, and there was usually a hole near the telescope mount. It is quite possible to miss the other section of the observing platform and fall through that hole in the dark, and on thankfully rare occasions this would cause serious injury. I know whenever I had a run on a telescope that was had this set-up, I took a couple of ankle wraps with me, because I knew I was going to be abusing my ankles climbing and falling in the dark. Nowadays most telescopes are automated enough that you don't have to do the jungle-gym-in-the-dark thing any more, but there are a couple where you do need to negotiate the observing platform in the dark.

Cancer Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Re: The Last Word They have next to zero production cost, so they are insanely cheap to broadcast. No fees to anyone for any kind of news, music, or content of any sort, just blather from people who call in and give you their words for nothing ... and even at that price you're being overbilled for them.

I've got a bible-thumper relative like that. Can't see me without telling me I'm going to spending eternity with ol' Scratch. Better someone with jock-itch than Beezle-bubba *shudder* So naturally when he's in town I wear my invisibility cloak... which is broken (it only moves my image out of town... doesn't hide it. I want my money back!)
